-:While shorter than the average Elezen, Proxima still manages to stand out, quite literally, in the average Lominsan crowd. She lacks physical strength and is not the least bit muscular, owing her slim, lanky stature to years of purely academic pursuits. Though Proxima's ashen, grey skin reflects her Duskwight ancestry, she has no personal attachments to their culture and history, simply identifying herself as Ishgardian. She also inherited her father's rose-colored eyes,  giving her a seemingly piercing gaze, accented by her dark lashes. She has dark blue hair that she keeps short to accommodate the warmer winds of La Noscea.

She has dark blue hair that she initially kept short to accommodate the warmer winds of La Noscea. She has since grown accustomed to the warmer climes and wears her hair long once more.
-:Proxima has two identifying marks– a mole under her lips and a scar on her face. It was the result of an incident involving a smuggler trying to escape routine inspection. Her manner of dress is what gives her away as a foreigner, being almost always overdressed for La Noscean weather. Even despite the heat, she frequently wears long dark-colored robes, often with golden embroidery, and pairs them with dark leather boots when she works on the docks for practicality's sake.

 :Efficient and focused in work, Proxima spends little time in the company of others. This, combined with her cold and aloof responses, has won her very few friends over the course of her stay in Limsa Lominsa. Although she speaks in a courteous manner, and is never outright cruel, others who might want to approach her are discouraged as she keeps her distance from others and largely prefers finishing tasks and researching in her free time. Her negative responses are easy to catch, as her facial expressions betray her perceived stoicism. She is difficult to converse with, being civil to the point of impersonal. Insistent efforts have been met with a roll of the eyes and an abrupt exit. Discussions about aether and the stars, however, will surely keep her engaged. She is an admirer of hard work and noble causes and, though sparingly, compliments others on their accomplishments. She tends to be impatient with and is put off by enthusiastic people, which, much to her chagrin, Limsa Lominsa has no shortage of. During her life in Ishgard however, Proxima was notably less withdrawn. Though she was largely solemn and reserved, she took pride in working in the name of The Holy See and amongst others who did the same. Despite her exterior, she does extend aid to others willingly on occasion, but does not act without visible, sufficient cause. This stems from her work as a customs officer, being the recipient of all sorts of honeyed words to circumvent an inevitable inspection.

 :: At the onset of The Calamity, Proxima had yet to be stationed at the Observatorium despite having completed her studies as a novitiate. The consistent, abysmal weather that befell Coerthas following the fall of Dalamud made it nigh impossible for any reading of the stars, and delayed most of Ishgard's own affairs. Slowly, a sizeable amount of Ishgardians had begun to retreat and abandon their posts due to the impossible weather. News soon broke that the knights of Dusk Vigil refused to leave their post, and that they still attempted to man the stronghold against all odds in case of attacks by the Dravanian Horde. Admiration grew to horror, as over time it grew apparent that all was lost for the Dusk Vigil. The weather was unrelenting, and despite protests from families of these knights– the Bisenoires included– naught more could be given than fervent prayer. The knights of Dusk Vigil had laid down their lives for their duty. Proxima's resolve wavered even more. There were countless brave men and women took arms for The Holy See, and yet none of their deaths were foreseen by watching the stars. And in the endless, unforgiving blizzards that followed, reading the stars would never be as easy as it once was. The inevitable passiveness that astrologians were doomed to for what seemed like an endless number of days did nothing to quell Proxima's concerns. Despite encouragement from Guillarmine and reassurances that the tragedy was no fault of hers, the tragic loss of her mother caused Proxima to throw herself further into her studies, doubting her place and contribution, but persevered in hopes of preventing tragedies of a similar caliber. She spent the next three years working quietly at the Observatorium.

 :: Proxima became acquainted with a Lominsan arcanist searching for leads on a smuggling ring in Coerthas. Though initially considered a nuisance at the Observatorium, the arcanist passed the time by aiding and learning rudimentary astrology, assisting the astrologians. The two exchanged their views on their respective practices and almost immediately, she is intrigued by the principles of arcanima and its use against the Dravanian Horde. Given that it deals with manipulating the aether of a subject, instead of dangerously drawing aether from stars, Proxima thought the practice might appeal better to her peers than astromancy would, as many were against meddling with greater powers, citing the devastation in past civilizations.  Before she could inquire more about arcanima, however, the arcanist had left, following another lead to her case at Revenant's Toll. Believing she might find answers at the Arcanist Guild, she began to muse with the idea of resigning from her post at the Observatorium. She soon sought Guillarmine's counsel and approval. Unfortunately, the idea of separation and allowing the Observatorium to lose an astrologian in tumultuous times was not received well, and became a source of disagreement for the couple. Guillarmine tried to dissuade such a drastic and unsure path, understanding that the decision was a culmination of Proxima's grief and frustration over time. Upon further reflection however, and determined that a more effective means of combating any future invasions was to be found, Proxima remained adamant and ultimately accepted that leaving meant parting ways with Guillarmine.

 ::Furthermore, although she had grasped the basics from the arcanist at Coerthas, arcanima proved to be far more complex than she'd anticipated, asserting the idea that it is, though suited for her, still an entirely different field. Her learning reaches a plateau, and she spent the next two years simply attempting to master the most foundational concepts and spells, and only in present day does she confidently identify herself an arcanist. She is yet far from truly mastering arcanima, however, and is unable to make major contributions to the study thus far. Though her work earns her enough coin to return home, and though she knows she might resume her post at the Observatorium for Ishgard's safety, she'd remained in Vylbrand out of pride, refusing to acknowledge her time as being spent in vain. Though her studies had allowed ''herself'' potential against the Horde, she has yet to find a way to extend this ability to others, and effectively deal a more devastating blow.
